Over the past few days the 6th, 7th, and 8th graders have been talking books. Several of them shared brief book recommendations with their classes and everyone heard booktalks about the Maud Hart Lovelace Division II nominees for 2015-2016. They then spent some time exploring and searching the authors' websites to learn more about them and their books. Take a look at the gallery below to see them in action. Remember to click on the images to see them full size.
The NDA Library is up and running again for another school year. All classes have had at least one visit and many of them have been captured in action so you can get a glimpse here. We've been learning about the layout of the library, talking about book care, reviewing policies, and reading fantastic books (of course!). I hope you and your child have been enjoying the library books at home. Please check the home page to see some of the new books that have recently been added to our collection. Coming soon: Pictures of the Middle Schoolers.
Thanks to these two very thoughtful second grade girls, our library has just added almost 50 books to the collection! This second grade class loves books, so the students were more than happy when they found out the requested gifts at these summer birthday parties would be book donations for the library. Thanks to all who contributed! You'll recognize the donated books because each is sporting a special bookplate in honor of the birthday girl who received it.
